MISTING TECHNOLOGIES FOR DUST CONTROL AND COOLING W et mist suppression is one of the best methods for controlling and reducing dust and odours. By creating a wall of micronsized atomised fluid droplets, fugitive airborne dust particles are instantly knocked out of entrainment, become heavier and drop to the ground. STANDARD MOBILE FIXED MISTING FAN MOBILE OSCILLATING MISTING FAN Fan size: 20 inches (500 mm) Water tank: 60-litres tank of unbreakable plastic Available area: 50 m2 Mist drop size: <10?m Continuance misting: 12 hours Temperatures drop: 4 oC to 8 oC BUFFALO MONSOON FOG TURBINE (CRUSHER PLANT APPLICATION) The Buffalo Monsoon Turbine simplifies wet mist suppression. Wet mist suppression is one of the best methods for controlling dust, odours and smoke. By creating a matrix of micron-sized, atomised fluid (commonly water) droplets, fugitive airborne pollutants can be bound and knocked out of entrainment. The Buffalo Monsoon has no nozzles, therefore there is no clogging from dirty water and dust. Using a Monsoon Fog Turbine will – • ensure cost-effective, high-performance dust control • improve visibility • improve occupational health and safety • create an immediate dust solution for mine dumps, stockpiles and land development areas • provide a cost-effective dust solution for events such as trade and agricultural shows, sporting events and construction sites • reduce water usage compared to other technologies, and • ensure environmental and OHS compliance. and services Gerald van der Merwe 0811 272 373 [email protected]
